This training on COVID-19 will be a joint effort between PCHC’s nursing and behavioral health departments.

During this training, we will be discussing the history of coronaviruses, including the different variants we have experienced. We will touch on the following: common signs/symptoms of COVID-19 in general and some variant-specific signs/symptoms, including what is known about long COVID; the medical impact of COVID on each body system; and its effects on behavioral health. In addition, we will discuss vaccines and treatments. Information on how to find credible sources of news will be presented and how the loss of trust in science has evolved and contributed to the pandemic.

Residential Habilitation Service Providers Virtual Office Hours: Best Practice Standards in Behavioral Support

The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) recognizes that effective, quality behavioral support must be grounded in and informed by basic, broadly accepted knowledge and processes. We have disseminated the Best Practice Standards in Behavioral Support to streamline expectations and practices for those individuals providing behavioral support in ODP programs. These standards were developed by ODP’s Unified Clinical Team consisting of representation from both the Bureau of Community Supports and the Bureau of Supports for Autism and Special Populations. The standards were drafted and disseminated in early 2021.

We are excited to discuss the standards with Residential Providers, encouraging those within the agency who have a role in oversight or implementation of Behavioral Support Services (e.g. Program Specialists, Clinical Staff, Behavioral Specialists) to join us!

Don’t miss this All-New FREE 90 minute webinar The Way Forward: Living Well During COVID, featuring a panel of national experts.

It seems COVID-19 will be a part of our lives and society for a while. People with IDD and their supports face unique adversities during the pandemic. So, how DO we get back to “normal” and WHEN? And where do we go from here?

The American Academy of Developmental Medicine and Dentistry (AADMD) is bringing together national experts in COVID-19 and IDD to give a much-needed perspective on how to navigate the days and months ahead. We will discuss how to provide a measured response to ensure freedom from illness and at the same time provide physical wellness and happiness.

The expert panel includes:

The webinar is intended for everyone who cares and supports those with IDD.
